Relationship Conflict

We've decided by consensus that consensus is good. In In Defense of Troublemakers, psychologist Charlan Nemeth argues that this principle is completely wrong: left unchallenged, the majority opinion is often biased, unoriginal, or false. It leads planes and markets to crash, causes juries to convict innocent people, and can quite literally make people think blue is green. In the name of comity, we embrace stupidity. We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making.

We never intend to be in a relationship to struggle, cause pain, and feel hurt. Yet it happens so often! What are we doing wrong when our intentions are right? Fights, misunderstandings, and disconnection can taint even the purest of love. And then one starts questioning, "Will we ever have a healthy and harmonious relationship?" or "Are we right for each other?” These thoughts can create a snowballing effect that leads to breakup. When, in reality, the question one should ask is: “How can we have a healthy and harmonious relationship and be good to each other?”
